👍 1. Visual search: Google Lens allows you to search for information using your camera. By simply pointing your phone's camera at an object or text, Google Lens can provide you with relevant information, such as product details, reviews, or translations. This feature makes it easy to gather information on the go without the need to type out a search query.
👍 2. Text recognition and translation: Google Lens can extract text from images and convert it into editable text. This can be useful for quickly saving important information from business cards, documents, or signs. Additionally, Google Lens can translate text in real-time, making it a handy tool for travelers or language learners.
👍 3. Object identification: Google Lens can identify objects and provide relevant information about them. For example, by capturing a photo of a plant, Google Lens can recognize the species and provide details about its care instructions. This feature can be useful for learning about various objects, landmarks, or even animals.
👎 1. Limited Language Support: One of the shortcomings of Google Lens is its limited language support. Although it does support a variety of languages, it may not be available in all languages, making it less useful for users who don't speak the supported languages.
👎 2. Inaccurate Recognition: Google Lens may sometimes struggle with accurate image recognition. While it can identify common objects, landmarks, and products, it may not always provide accurate or relevant information about them, leading to a frustrating user experience.
👎 3. Privacy Concerns: Google Lens requires access to a user's camera, images, and location data to function effectively. This can raise privacy concerns for users who are uncomfortable with providing such information to Google or any other third-party application.
